What year is you cb? The 69-76 bikes used a 530 chain, the 77/78 used a 630. So you need to make sure you have the right chain and sprockets.
I can only give setup for the sohc, I dont know the others but it should be in your owners manual.
 the 69-76 is a 17/48 sprocket combo and I think the chain is 106 links.
The 77/78 is a 15/41 with 88 link chain.

You can remove the rear wheel with the chain still on, I know, I have done it. Ther is NO WAY I am getting my master link off without still using a chain breaker, it is NOT going anywhere!
You might be able to remove it off the front sprocket but I forget.
There are tons of sites to get chains and such from and there should be a sale somewhere.
